Sex Pistols @ Brixton 9/11/07

As I really can't be arsed to write a proper review, here is one I shamelessly stole from the Guardian (written by Ian Gittens so he won't sue me):

Taking the St George flag-bedecked stage to Vera Lynn's There's Always Be An England, a wide-eyed and gurning Rotten is clearly up for it.

He has long ago passed the stage of being a caricature, of course, and is all the better for it. Hurling himself into Pretty Vacant and I Did You No Harm, he carries off his trademark trick of celebrating and mocking the Pistols' material, while his semi-sneer, semi-yodel of a vocal remains thrillingly intact. There is no new material, nothing written since 1978, but Rotten achieves the remarkable feat of appearing as gripped and riled by it as back in the punk days. Superbly animated during Holidays In The Sun, he spits through a correctly restless take on Iggy Pop's No Fun before grinning as a backdrop of a safety-pin-sporting monarch is lowered into place for God Save The Queen. A hugely entertaining show ends with the inevitable encore of Anarchy In The UK, at which point Rotten returns to abuse the audience and reimagine the Pistols' tasteless Belsen Was A Gas as the equally offensive Baghdad Was A Blast.

I'm pretty sure this wasn't quite the set we saw though!

Super Hardrock Rebuild

Stripped and ready to rebuild - tool a while to get the old bottom bracket and crankset off but got there in the end, and after a swift reface, installed the new external bearing GXP.

Upgraded SRAM 9 speed cassette and X-9 Rear derailleur, activated by transfil flying snake sealed cables.

Truvative GXP Stylo crankset (self-extracting!) and SRAM x-9 front derailleur.

New controls - Hope levers and SRAM x-7 shifters, along with the remote for the fork lockout. Grips are now ODI Lock-On Extreme.

Hope Mono-Mini 160mm Rear brake.

Hope Mono-Mini 180mm front brake.

Now all it needs is a test ride or two to break in the pads and it should be a pretty sweet ride.
